In cash terms the typical CM6 1 home went from £75,000 in 1995 to £426,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 161%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CM6 1 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2001 (+26.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−5.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CM6 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.9% | +1.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.3% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.2% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
How many homes change hands in CM6 1
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
CM6 1 recorded 68 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 282 sales a year before the financial crisis and 186 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What homes rent for around CM6 1
CM6 1 falls under Uttlesford, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,283 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £900 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,028 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Uttlesford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £426,000 median sold price, £1,283 a month is £15,396 a year, a gross yield of 3.6%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

The price of an extra bedroom in CM
Real sold prices by size across the CM area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
